Angela's BodyTalk Journey

“Get to the Core”

Isn’t it amazing that the body can heal a cut or bruise or grow a finger nail without you having anything to do with the process. Don’t you think it’s possible that our every day life and stresses can cause the body to get “out of synch with itself?”



Have you ever been to a massage therapist for a lower back problem and been told that the actual problem area is not in the location of the pain?



If the body can heal a cut or scrape, why can’t it re-synchronize communication lines for an issue you’ve been carrying around for years? Well BodyTalk has alleviated quite a few issues that I no longer have.



My name is Angela Jane MacDonald and I have spent a life time in the health and wellness industry. I first started thinking about my health when I was 18 and working towards becoming a national team hopeful in Synchronized Swimming. It was then that I started eating "clean" foods so my body would utilize all of its nutritional benefits to enhance my professional endeavours. Being a Syncrhonized Swimmer for over 14 years I learnt how to become “intune” with my body, and I quickly knew when something wasn’t quite right.



I have continued this type of lifestyle throughout all aspects of my life. I am a certified Fitness Instructor teaching a wide variety of classes such as step, strength and balance, cycle and Pilates. I am a certified Reiki Practitioner and a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner. I have been practicing in Kitchener-Waterloo since receiving my BodyTalk certification in July 2008. I have become so passionate about the BodyTalk System that I am continuing my knowledge by completing the advanced levels of BodyTalk Training. I am also a member of the International BodyTalk Association. 



Life is becoming increasingly stressful and fast paced. Statistics Canada has written many articles in the last four years on stress related issues due to work, work life balance, and work place illness. My passion is to help you find a natural state of balance in a relaxing way. Having worked successfully with clients of all ages with a variety of serious illnesses, as well as clients whose goals are optimal wellness, I believe I can help you too.



As owner and operator of 'For Wellness', my goal is to help individuals find a natural state balance using a variety of techniques and products.  I invite you to join me in this wonderful process and gain health and happiness through lifestyle changes with education and healing. I offer a supportive and trusting environment for you to explore your inner self and begin living a better life everyday. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better and I look forward to meeting you soon.
